JMoore17 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 ok im a noob to this site and a noob at wiring systems, learnin more everyday so your guy's help would be nice, ok from my understanding i have a mono block amp and the amp starts at 4 ohms and u divide that by however many speakers you put on the amp, so 2 speakers u would take the 4 ohms you started with and divide it by 2 and then your amp would then run on 2 ohms, im looking to run 3 pioneer premier pros to a lanzar opti drive 2000d so that would drop it down to 1.3 correct? but my speakers are dual voice coil so doesnt that make it almost like 2 speakers in one so would my amp then drop to .65 ohms? and if so would this amp be able to drop so low without blowing fuses? it has a built in fan if that matters at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel4055 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) The amp does not determine the ohm load. The woofers do. You divide the power the amp has to offer at the ohm load you want across the 3 woofers. For example if I had 2 rockford p2 15's at 250wrms a piece and I stick them at 2 ohms on a amp that does 500w at 2 ohms I will get 250wrms per-woofer. From what I found this amp can only do 4 and 2 ohm but not for sure. What coils are on the pioneers you have? Edited January 14, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Rebel4055 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I can not find any specs on that amp, I even went to their site and I still couldn't find it. Where are you seeing its rated .5? I need to know what coils your pioneers have. Edited January 14, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
